I own a Sedan. I love it, however, I wanted a ZX3 but when I was shopping, my local Ford dealership only had the SAP Sedans and I fell in love with the SAP. However, if I found a SAP ZX3, I'd trade my sedan in for it.

The ZX3 will have a higher resell value.

Wagon, the practicality is unbeatable. In terms of styling though Hatch>Wagon>Sedan. IMO

The hatch looks better & you can't beat the functionality IMO

For me it the hatch all the way...my first Foci was a 2000 sedan which I really liked...traded that in for the 2003 ZX5 and the practicality of the hatch won me over!

I do see alot of sedans around here (MK3) and from behind they look alot like their competition's rearend and harder to stand apart in a crowd but the nose on the Focus looks fairly unique..

First Focus was an 03 ZX5 in Red with stick and full load. Nice car, and my GF actually prefers the look of the hatch over the sedan

Current is the 07 ZX4 with auto (b/c traffic jams suck!). Despite losing some cargo space, I prefer this design for the concealed trunk, and I feel like it conceals road noise from the rear wheels better than a hatch or wagon. Noise I noticed with the ZX5, but not this car. This one is quieter and I attribute it to this design as well as possibly better tires

Honestly, I like both and wouldn't have changed a thing in my decision

Hatch with trailer hitch and roof rack. There isn't anything that you can't carry on a moments notice. That's just the practical side of me kicking in, but I'm still all for that a$$ on the hatches.

Well I love my 04 ZX5 with the 2.3, so there is my vote.
